Limiter

../../../_images/kdenlive2308_effects-limiter.webp

Description

The limiter prevents an input signal from rising over a desired threshold. This limiter uses lookahead technology to prevent your signal from distorting. It means that there is a small delay after the signal is processed. Keep in mind that the delay it produces is the attack time you set.

Parameters

Parameter

Value

Description

Input gain

Float

Set input gain. Default is 1.

Output gain

Float

Set output gain. Default is 1.

Limit

Float

Do not let signals above this level pass the limiter. Default is 1.

Attack

Float

The limiter will reach its attenuation level in this amount of time in milliseconds. Default is 5 milliseconds.

Release

Integer

Come back from limiting to attenuation 1.0 in this amount of milliseconds. Default is 50 milliseconds.

Enable ASC

Switch

When gain reduction is always needed ASC takes care of releasing to an average reduction level rather than reaching a reduction of 0 in the release time.

ASC level

Float

Select how much the release time is affected by ASC, 0 means nearly no changes in release time while 1 produces higher release times.

Normalize to 0dB

Switch

Auto level output signal. Default is enabled. This normalizes audio back to 0dB if enabled.
